Spring Outlook for Crops, Etc.

akVIECENNEs, June Civilian Scanling,
aged twenty-one years, son of a respect
able ana well-to-do farmer living near Oak
town, this county, committed suicide this
morning by shooting. Sunday morning
the young man was kicked in the head by
a horse. he made frequent complaints of
his head hurting him during the day, but
in the evening felt well enough to take
drive with his sweetheart, whose company
he seemed to enjoy more than ever. Several
hours before he committed the deed, how
ever, he remarked to his sister-in-law that
life was not worth living, and to lady
living with the family he said: I'VE are go
ing to have a frst-clsss funeral here to-mor-
row." These were the only declarations of
dependency he had ever made, and the
family paid little attention to them. Sub
sequently he went to his room, procured
the pistol and retraced his steps to the
wood-shed, short distance from the house.
where he committed the act. No one
witnessed the deed. The father and younger
brother were at work in a field. On hear
ing the sharp report of the pistol they
hastened to the wood-shed to find Scanling
lying on the ground, his body quivering
with pain and his reason gone, never to re-
turn. The only message he left behind
were the words, without a signature:
Goodbye, friends: I'm tired of life."

THE CASE DISMISSED.
Decision of Judge Phelps In the Gel
brated Telegraph Suit.

Decision of Judge Phelps In the CeIe-
brated Telegraph Suit.
BALTIMORE, June 6.-The celebrated case
of the Western Telegraph Company VS.. the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company,
involving title to the telegraph lines along
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, between
Baltimore, Wheeling and Parkersburg,
which it was presumed was finally settled
in March, 1884, by Chief Justice Waite, in
favor of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad,
has again been brought up in this city by
the Western Union Telegraph Company,
which company owns q majority of the
Western Telegraph Company. The gist of
Chief Justice Waite's decision three years
ago was to the effect that the charter
of the Western Telegraph Company,
having expired by Limitation in 1877. that
company was now defunct. The Western
Union Company recently sought to reopen
this case on the ground that the Western
Telegraph Company, being the company
with which the original contract with the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company in
1857 was made, was entitled to the physical
property, that is, the poles, wires, ETC.. be-
longing to the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road, although the contract with the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad Company was
admitted to be at an end. The case was
elaborately prepared by the Western Union
attorneys and considered for many days by
Judge Phelps in the Superior Court of
Baltimore City. Judge Phelps, on Satur-
day last, terminated the case, dismissiHg
the same and assessing the cost upon the
Western Union Company

tween the Miners National District 135 and

Association, a wing of the Federation of
Trades. So far the convention only got to

the subject. A report is expected to-
morrow.

tion in the McGlynn case is simply this:
He likes DIR. McGlynn personally and does
not condemn him for advocating general
property in land, for that doctrine has not
yet been pronounced heretical by the Pope,
speaking x.cathedra, but he does blame
DR.. McGlynn for rebelling against his &C.
cleslastical superior and dabbling in poll
tics to an extent unbeooming his priestly
character. It is probable that the council
of archbishops will meet in Baltimore
early in the summer. 1t seems that
at present a large majority OF the prelates
are inclined TO look with favor on labor or
CARNATIONS now existing, but a few are vio-
lently opposed to them. Among those is
the venerable Archbishop Fenwick, of st.
Louis, the Oldest prelate in the hierarchy.
He has pronounced the Knights of Labor
an unlawful order, and has denounced
their methods as barbarous. However,
since most of the bishops do not hold Fem
wick's views, it is almost certain the coun-
Gil will adopt the mild measures mentioned
above.

ADVICE to Canada,

LONDON, June 6.-The Standard this
morning reads Canada q severe lesson for
increasing her duties on iron and steel,
which, 1t says, is selfish policy
and can only tend to sever the
colonies from the mother country.
1.-THE increase was made" it says,
ION the hollow pretense of a desire to
check the rapid increase of trade with the
United States in our favor. We decline
the offer with thanks. We do not want
our trade fostered at the expense of our
neighbors, even il it could be done, but it
can not be done in that way. The interest
of Canada is to foster trade with the United
States Dy every means in its power. The
freer the trade is on the Canadian side the
larger will it be in spite of the insane tariff
of the United States, and the larger the
trade with the United States the rlcher will
the Canadian people become, and the more
business will they do with other countries" "

Hung the Wrong Man.

LOUISVILLE, KY, June 6.-J. NJ. Grimes,
editor of the Jasper Qnd.) Times, has just
returned from a tour over the ground at
Eckerty, Perry County, Indiana, where the
man John Davis was hanged on the charge
of having outraged Ella Flanagan. He
says that it is now known that John Davis
was not guilty of the crime, and died at
the hands of the Iynchers an innocent
man. His brother, Clay Davis, who made
the assault, has not been apprehended, and
it is thought is in concealment somewhere
in Indiana. The White-Cappers are still
in pursuit of him, and if caught he will
swing. Mr.. Grimes further states that
Ella Flanagan is not the young and tender
flower reported, but a large, raw-boned
woman. She was undoubtedly outraged,
however, and brutally treated after it. The
lynchiug party who executed John Davis
is composed of members of the notorious
white Cap" Regulators, who have been
such terror to evil.doers in Indiana.

UNION LABOR PARTY MEETING.
Resolutions Adopted Commenting mr
O'Brien's action on Saturday Night.

Resolutions Adopted ding mr.
O'Brien's Action on Saturday Night.
New York. June GA meeting of dele
the city representing the Union Labor
perty met tonight Resolutions were
adopted commenting the refusal
of Editor O'Brien to be led
into any alliance with the Socialists,
Communists or Anarchists, and saying that
true American workingmen refused to ac-
ceptgthe doctrines of the George and SO
cialistic organizations. The resolutions
say that the Socialists of this city tried to
force themselves and their theories upon
Mr.. O'Br1en and the Irish Land League,
regardless of the result to the cause
of the league. By this trick the
doctrines of socialism, nihilism and athe-
ism would be given to the Irish people as
the opinion of New York workingmen.
1t was only one of series of attempts to
capture the Labor party. 1t was regretted
that good men were misled by these de-
signing agitators.
Representatives of the Municipal Coun-
Gil OF the Irish National League called
upon Mr.. O'Brien to-day and presented
resolutions passed by that body. The
resolutions commend Mr.. 0'Brien for the
stand he took, and express the belief that
the laboring masses will also approve of
his action.
The committee which is making arrange
ments for the dinner tomorrow evening
went to the Fifth Avenue Hotel to invite
James G. Blaine. Mr.. Blaine was out, but
his son, Walker Blaine, assured the COM
mittee of the warm sympathy of
his father with the cause of
home rule in Ireland, and expressed his
regret that his father could not appear at
the dinner, owing to the pressing work de-
manded by the arrangements for his de-
parture for Europe.
